Now my family favorite also!! I use eye-of-round because of the fat levels but also because of that my roasts are usually tough, dry and not much taste. This recipe came out beautifully tender, moist and flavorful. The only other change I did was to omit the salt (enough in the canned tomatoes, broth and V-8 juice. Thank You so much for this keeper!
